Annual Energy Production Calculations

The central power station has an annual energy production of 78.84 million kWh, calculated using a load factor of 60% and a maximum demand of 15,000 kW. The reserve capacity over and above the load is 18,333.33 kW, determined from the plant capacity based on a use factor of 45%. Additionally, the hours per year not in service amount to 5,256 hours, derived from a capacity factor of 40%.

A central power station has annual factors as follows.

Load factor = 60%, Capacity


factor = 40% and Use factor =
45%. Power station has a maximum demand of 15000 KW. Determine annual energy
production, reserve capacity over and above load and hours per year not in service.

Given:
Load Factor = 60% (0.60)

Capacity Factor = 40% (0.40)

Use Factor = 45% (0.45)

Maximum Demand = 15,000 kW

Total Hours in a Year = 8760 hours

Calculations:

1. Annual Energy Production:


= Load Factor × Maximum Demand × Hours in a Year

= 0.60 × 15,000 × 8760 = 78,840,000.00 kWh

= 78.84 million kWh

2. Reserve Capacity Over and Above Load:


Plant Capacity = Maximum Demand / Use Factor = 15,000 / 0.45 = 33,333.33 kW

Reserve Capacity = Plant Capacity - Maximum Demand = 33,333.33 - 15,000 = 18,333.33 kW

3. Hours per Year Not in Service:


Operating Hours = Capacity Factor × Total Hours = 0.40 × 8760 = 3504.00 hours

Hours Not in Service = 8760 - 3504.00 = 5256.00 hours
